Without mentioning US Open final drama

Serena also spoke about what reaching US Open final meant to her: "I obviously wanted to be back to the final a couple years ago, but it wasn't meant to be".

"She fought for her life, for our child, for recognition, for equal pay, for women's rights", the Reddit co-founder wrote.

Williams and Osaka have played against each other once before, at Miami in March, and it was the Japanese upstart who toppled her idol in straight sets. "I know you guys were here rooting, but let's make this the best moment we can".

Speaking about her daughter in HBO documentary series Being Serena: "For so many years, I defined myself in just one way: by success, by championships, by making history".

The women's final is at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in NY at 4 p.m. local time. She came into the world on September 1, 2017, and Williams needed a c-section due to fetal distress.

Williams had been given a first violation by Carlos Ramos for coaching earlier in the set, telling him that she'd "rather lose" than cheat.

While the 36-year-old Nike athlete wore a lavender tutu for yesterday's match, she looked like her daughter's twin in a black one-shoulder version paired with white Off-White x Nike sneakers during the quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Williams said she didn't know if she would have managed to turn things around if the dispute with Ramos had not occurred.

"I had this made for Serena Williams last night after her match with some home videos from 1 year ago this week. No matter what happens in any match, semis, finals, I just feel like I've already won".
